    What's up everyone?! I hope this top 10 MacBook setup tips and tricks video was helpful. Did I cover what you wanted to know? What else did you want to see or learn about.
    Would love to know what you think. Are there any other things that you recommend doing with your new MacBook? I am grateful in advance 🙏

      Yo this is not about this video but i am really confused about what to get m50 vs sl3 cuz sl3 s cheaper in my region but i just don't know what to get because they are so close in specs and it's going to be my first camera but i want it to be more professional that will keep with me for like 5 years i watched your and other youtubers vids about this comparison and i am still confused i want to open a RUclips channel so i am worried that sl3 will have bad video so what are your thoughts what camera should i get and does the kit lense provide good bokeh on both the cameras or do i need to buy a lense for bokeh thanks you sorry for wasting your time

      I've added and removed the 16 gig Macbook Air from my cart so many times, have to hold out for the 16.

    • @TechGearTalk
      @TechGearTalk  3 года назад

      The sl3 is better for video. Always start with the kit lens then upgrade your lighting and audio. Hope that helps!

    I've been mentally preparing myself for the switch from Windows to Mac and have found your videos to be VERY helpful. I finally made the purchase of a new Macbook Pro for editing skydiving videos in 4K after finding a really good deal. Thank you for putting together these tutorials as like I said, they are very helpful to a noob like me!!!

    One thing I may add after watching an other Windows user setting up his Mac. When installing new apps, after you open the installer file (.dmg) there will normally open up a little window with the app icon on the left, an arrow and the applications folder on the right. Basically all you have to do is drag the app icon to the right into the folder. Easy as that. To uninstall an app, go to the app folder and drag it into the trash bin.

      yeah this was weird at first but actually is an almost stupidly simple way of installing and deleting programs that actually makes sense once you get used to it. I wouldn't say I prefer it but I almost wonder what it would be like if windows worked like that as well.

    I'm new to the Apple MacBook but I've decided on getting the 2020 MacBook Air as I am not a power user, just someone who checks email, shopping and watching videos from various platforms. I'm a Global fan and love watching Korean and Chinese Dramas. Right now I have a Chromebook with the 12th Gen Corei3 with a 16" screen and it has decent specs. Left Windows, played with Tablets and researched the Chromebook and felt it was the perfect laptop for me. Security is my requirement. I thought that the MacBook was like Windows but I never really looked into it; I wish I had as I doubt I would be with Chromebooks. At any rate, it's never too late to learn a new technology. The speakers on the MacBook Air sound really good to me. My laptop has good sounding speakers as well but they don't get loud but with the earpods they sound great. I've added internet security and a VPN for added safety. I'm on my laptop whenever I'm not sleeping. What I like about the MacBook is it gets continual updates. That one weighs less than 3lbs and mine weighs close to 5lbs. I have a good ISP and have a very fast internet and it can handle more than what I use it for. I think by September I will be able to comfortably afford it. I'm really looking forward to the MacBook Air. Thank you for your education information regarding this device.
